Who we are!

We are a not for profit community of
people involved in educating and sharing in many areas such as geology,
rockhounding, mineral collection, lapidary and jewelry arts through a variety
of club and community activities.

What we do!

Our monthly club meetings include guest
speakers, demonstrations, silent auction along with

rock and
mineral identification. We sponsor classes in lapidary, jewelry making and
a

variety of field trips for gem, mineral, and fossil collecting.

Our annual rock and mineral show, held
at the Canby Fairgrounds in October, offers a wide variety of learning opportunities
including the preparation of the rock and mineral materials that will be for
sale, and displays of our members’ skills.

You are invited!

We welcome you to an exciting hobby for
all ages! Attend a meeting, a field trip, our rock show, classes and more. Each
monthly club meeting includes a presentation or demonstration, silent auction
and all visitors receive a free collector’s specimen.

Micro-mineral Photography - The photographing of minerals so small that you need to look through a microscope to really see them, is very different from snapping a "selfie" or a picture of a beautiful sunset. In this presentation I will explain my camera setup, the process in the computer along with some pictures I have taken, commonly called "eye candy".

A silent auction for rocks, minerals, and lapidary material will begin at 7pm and close when the meeting ends. Each auctioned item will include an individual auction sheet on which bids may be entered. At the close of the auction the highest bid amount wins. Bids may be made throughout the meeting.
